Yuki, an Israeli data cost optimization startup founded in 2025, has raised US$6 million in seed funding led by Hyperwise Ventures, with participation from VelocitX, Tal Ventures, Fresh.fund, and Yakir Daniel.

The funding will support expanding its research and development team in Israel, enhancing product features, and increasing sales efforts in the US.

The company aims to address rising data and AI workload costs by offering a control system for data management, which it claims is lacking in most organizations.

Yuki’s platform, Yuki Fabric, integrates with platforms like Snowflake and Google BigQuery to optimize data queries and resource allocation in real time.

The startup reports that customers in 2025 reduced their data costs by an average of 42.6%, saving millions for larger firms.

The market for cloud management and optimization tools is estimated at US$9.8 billion, with Yuki positioning itself as a governance-focused solution amid rising AI adoption.
